Grab This Final Labor Day Deal for a Tovola Smart Ovet at Only $49 [CNET]

Simplify your meals with an easy-to-use smart oven setup at a low, low price.

The big day might be over but there are still plenty of sales to take advantage of. That’s right Labor Day is still here in some form with deals on kitchen appliances hanging on for the time being. The Tovala smart over for just $49 plus free shipping is one that is well worth highlighting for its huge $250 discount. The only catch is that you need to order six meals over six months to get the price cut. 

This one from Tovala is made to work with the company’s own meal kits, giving you a meal delivery service with a twist. Rather than having to cook things on your own, you pop the packaged meals in the smart oven and sit back as they are automatically heated to specifications. You aren’t limited to meal kits from Tovala either, since the oven functions like a regular one as well.

I had a chance to use the Tovala, and the ready-to-cook meals are super simple and come out great. You simply scan a QR code on the frozen package of barbecue pork chops or cheese frittata and pop it in. The oven takes care of the rest using various and sometimes multiple cooking methods — steam, bake, roast, convection — to nail each dish and then pings your phone when it’s ready. 

The smallest meal plan is four meals per week and they’re $12 each. That means you’ll be committed to spending $288 on meals over six weeks to get this deal. It’s not like the money is going nowhere. I mean, you gotta eat, right? Even if you decide you don’t love the Tovala meals after six weeks, you’ll have yourself a sophisticated countertop toaster oven that can be used without the meals for general toasting, roasting, baking and warming.  

This is your last chance to take advantage of Labor Day Appliance deals with these offers set to expire in the coming hours.
